Meanwhile, in the New World on the other side of Water 7 Shichibukai, Doflamingo, now a Shichibukai, finally made his move on Dressrosa.
The entire kingdom had only Kyros with any fighting power, and he was no match for the Donquixote Family's invasion. Doflamingo finally realized his long-cherished plan and became the King of Dressrosa. In that year, the Tontatta repeated the same mistake as 900 years ago and became slaves of the Donquixote Family once again!
Not long after Vic returned to Titan Island, he received a message from Ban. Kaido of the Beasts Pirates had taken over the territory with his men, and someone had seen a figure who had been missing for many years in the Beasts Pirates. It was Derek, the captain of the Claw Pirates, whom Vic had asked Ban to keep an eye on a long time ago!
The person he thought had long since perished at sea has now appeared in the Beasts Pirates. Hearing that name and remembering that person again, Vic is now very calm. However, the revenge for his original family cannot go unavenged.
Vic arrived in Wano Country quickly. Although Vic was not afraid of Kaido, he did not swagger to Onigashima. There was no need for him to face Kaido directly; a fight would be meaningless. He could just find Derek and secretly kill him.
Vic arrived in Wano Country at night. With Vic's current strength and abilities, the natural barrier of Wano Country is a joke. He wandered around Onigashima without anyone noticing him.
Kaido, being a drunkard, didn't believe anyone could easily enter his territory. Based on Vic's estimation of Derek's strength, Observation Haki to sense Derek a few times and found him.
He didn't ask Derek how he survived or how he joined the Beasts Pirates. Instead, he used the power of the Rumble-Rumble Fruit to block multiple blood vessels in Derek's brain, causing his heart to contract violently several times.
The blocked blood vessels in Derek's brain ruptured instantly under the powerful impact of the blood flow. Derek didn't even have time to utter a sound before he stopped breathing. The man who brought Vic into this world died at Vic's hands, leaving Vic silent for a long time.
"Hey! Who are you? Why haven't I seen you before? Are you new here?"
Just as Vic was silent, a clear voice startled him awake. Vic looked in the direction of the voice and saw a tall figure wearing a Hannya mask, with a pair of cute red horns on his head, and white hair that gradually turned blue. The shimenawa rope, kimono, and wooden clogs on his back all indicated the identity of the person.
The person who came was Yamato, who was wandering around Onigashima wearing explosive Seastone handcuffs. Although Yamato was born into the Beasts Pirates Beasts Pirates rife with criminal activity, she was born with a sense of justice. Despite growing up in such an environment, she did not turn to the dark side, which is quite rare.
The only thing that's criticized about him is his desire to become like Kozuki Oden; as for his later opposition to his father Kaido, Vic doesn't seem to care.
What kind of ravages has Kaido brought to Wano Country? How many families have been destroyed and people have died because of Kaido? Yamato sacrificing her own family. What's wrong with that? It's a sign of reason, not blind filial piety or aiding and abetting evil.
"Would you like to leave Wano Country and sail out to see the world?"
Vic said softly, "Yamato Kaido's daughter, Yamato's talent is naturally beyond question. Awakening Conqueror's Haki at a young age, and at eighteen years old this year Yamato has already eaten the Mythical Zoan Dog-Dog Fruit."
Having mastered both types of Haki, Yamato has no weaknesses, and her future is definitely promising. Therefore, Vic wants to recruit Yamato as his partner, Vic that he can change Yamato's mindset Yamato change her desire to become Kozuki Oden.
"Of course I want to! But if I leave Wano Country with these handcuffs, they'll explode, and I'll be blown up!"
Yamato stretched out his hands and looked at the handcuffs on his wrists, saying helplessly that his excitement about going to sea had cooled down after hearing Vic mention it.
After reading Kozuki Oden's logbook, Yamato felt a strong longing for the outside world. She had wanted to go on an adventure at sea for a long time, but she had been unable to do so due to the explosive handcuffs.
But her longing for the outside world had not diminished at all; on the contrary, it had grown stronger with the passage of time. Yamato was inherently innocent, and she felt very good about Vic. She trusted Vic in no time.
"If I can get rid of these handcuffs, would you be willing to leave Wano Country with me? I'm a pirate too, and I just arrived in Wano Country today. The outside world is much more exciting than Wano Country."
These explosive handcuffs would be a piece of cake for Vic now; even Luffy, who had just mastered Ryuo, could do it. Vic, on the other hand, had been working on Ryuo for many years.
Vic thought he could easily remove the handcuffs using the power of the Rumble-Rumble Fruit; they were just Seastone handcuffs, their internal structure couldn't be that complicated.
"I'm willing, what do I need to do?"
Yamato stretched out her hands in front of Vic with excitement. There was no normal father-daughter relationship between her and Kaido. Kaido was not a father either. He would beat and scold Yamato, and even refused to feed her, which led to Yamato accidentally eating Devil Fruit while hungry.
As for the rest of the Beasts Pirates? Those she had any connection with have already been killed by Kaido, and she has no feelings for them whatsoever. She can't save Wano Country right now either; she can't even beat Queen, let alone Kaido.
It would be great if Yamato could go out to sea to hone her skills like Kozuki Oden, and then come back to defeat Kaido once she's strong enough. Yamato may be simple-minded, but she's not brainless; she can still think things through. Otherwise, she wouldn't have seen an opportunity to join in when Luffy and the others were besieging Onigashima.
"Let's leave Onigashima first, after all, Kaido is still on the island."
Vic still plans to use Ryuo to destroy the internal structure of the handcuffs to help Yamato escape, but an explosion is inevitable, which will definitely alert the Beasts Pirates and further alarm Kaido.
Although Vic isn't afraid of Kaido, there's no point in fighting him. He's not a battle maniac. Kaido hates the Navy and the World Government, and could be an asset in the future. Let's save him for Sun God Luffy gain experience.
"Wait for me a moment, I'll go back and get my weapon."
Yamato finished speaking, she turned to leave, clearly reluctant to part with her spiked club. However, before she could take a step, Vic reached out and pressed down on her shoulder. Yamato felt as if the hand on her shoulder was a mountain, rendering her unable to move.
"No need for weapons, we'll forge you a good one later. If you don't need anything else, let's go now."
Vic was a highly skilled blacksmith, or to put it bluntly, a master craftsman. Forging weapons was second nature to him; he wasn't just good at making swords.
With the power of the Rumble-Rumble Fruit, there's no weapon he can't forge. He can even perfectly replicate various precision firearms from his previous life. More than that spiked club, what Vic wants Yamato to take away is Oden's nautical logbook, which might contain the secret of Red-Hair ' tattoo on his back.
